Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 255g/cup ÷ 16 = gallons
  1. Start with 0.72 pounds of soy sauce
  2. Convert pounds to grams: 0.72 × 453.59 = 326.59g
  3. 1 cup of soy sauce = 255g
  4. 326.59g ÷ 255g/cup = 1.28 cups ÷ 16 = 0.08 gallons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.08 gal, based on soy sauce having a density of 255g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert pounds to grams (1 pound = 453.592g), then divide by 255 (grams per cup), then divide by 16 to get gallons. For 0.72 pounds: 0.72 × 453.592 = 326.59g, then 326.59 ÷ 255 = 1.28 cups ÷ 16 = 0.08 gal.
For the most accurate results, weigh soy sauce on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of soy sauce changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 0.08 gal × 16 = 1.28073 cups, then 1.28073 × 255g/cup = 326.59g, then 326.59g ÷ 453.592 = 0.72 pounds. Or use the Gallons to Pounds converter.
